and sagacious people met with scani courtesy from
her couutrsmen. A legand says that she deceived
the god Apollo In some small matter and as a
punishment was condemned never 10 be believed,
even when speaking truth. III this he SO, The mantle
OF Cassandra must have fallen upon every prophet
and prophecies since. The only other opposition
came rom LAGOON. always called che False
Priest because, though nobly true TO hs country
he was false 20 the gods whom he served and who
wished for the downfall OF Troy. While LAGOON was
speaking against the introduction OF the horse two
serpents came up out OF the water and deyoured
himself and his sons. This taken as sign OF
divine displeasure with his views, and the horse
was Immediately set up within the city walls:
Al night the armed men in its interior came forth,
opened the gates OF Troy and let an the Greeks,

A PLEA FOR THE BOYS
FRIENDS OF THE CLUB: People wonder why the
boys want 10 leave the farm and try their fortunes
! in the city or West. There IL little wonder when
the matter is looked into. Too little effort is
MADE 10 make the home from which the boys want
10 run away attractive The mighty dollar too
often gets IN the way. Boys not wild animals:
they do not need pounding because they do not do
have the experience. One trouble is that many
farmers have too much 10 say about " big i y in
talkingt their boys. Why not say we or our" in
talking about the stock and farm, and encourage
i them 10 do the same2 They viii learn 10 take an
Interest Subscribe for paper la their name Boys
like little fun now and then When work crowds
and they try 20 have little sport don't scoid or
growl; put Ia d word YOURSELF the work will go on
all The easier. DO anything 10 make the boys think
you are having good time in short live with your
boys. and when you get boy so that be will love
ms work lac viii love his parents and his home and

down the slope Of declining years Of life. With the
boys are the hopes Of your future veal or woe
